The Official Gundam 00 Season 2 Dub Thread

[Amadi Akintunde]

Dubbing question: Shouldn't A-Laws be "A"-Laws and not "Ah"-Laws? Is this a case of the dubbers taking the "engrish" too seriously? Sometimes it sounds like "outlaws" this way, no offense.

"At the Head of the point of all Laws" maybe? It makes sense, seeing where the "Ah" sound would come from.

[M.U.N.]

Wait, they're always going to cut off the ending scenes? That'd probably confuse up a lot of stuff wouldn't it?

I loved Red Haro's dub voice, actually. Major improvement from Orange Haro's robotic un-cute voice, I hope they made the same change to Orange Haro.
Btw, didn't Lasse or someone say something about trans-am causing an explosion before Setsuna did it? I didn't notice it in the dub but didn't see any place that took it out.

He did, to Tieria when they were talking about the Exia and 0 Gundam's drives being the most compatable. It was cut out of the broadcast version last night.

Grr... didn't realize Syfy was pushing S2 already, I was lucky that the DVR happened to be on that channel when I stopped watching something I'd recorded and hit the "Record" button -- but I'd missed the premiere.

I tried watching a streaming sub online, and didn't realize there was an end scene there either -- "How Rude!"

Still don't know why the Exia had a cloak -- not like it's useful in space.
Need to watch ep. 2 now.

Maybe it has some kind of beam diffusing effect like the Crossbone's cape.

I have to agree its pretty useless. It just looked cool, but at the same time I was thinking why would a gigantic robot in war have a cape? Its like a rank and file soldier going into battle with a cape on.

[ZeroBusterXX]

I think the cloak was there to hide or distract from the fact that that whole side of the Exia was pretty jacked up.

[SNT1]

Its missing its left arm. Exposed effed up arm = looks weak, cape = looks more badass/intimidating than it actually is

I don't know if SciFi allows you to stream TV shows online. Bandai will likely upload season 2 on their youtube channel, like they did with season 1, but not until after the entire season has finished airing.

[Dark Duel]

They apparently do some shows, but Gundam 00's not one of them from what I've found.

Robots with capes? *coughcodegeasscough*

Also, I think it has some sort of ability to work as a shield cuz it looked like it got hit by a beam weapon of some kinds

[Dark Duel]

Actually, while I understand your comparison, the rank-and-files in Code Geass did NOT go into combat with capes. Only a half-dozen or so people at the most are shown with their machines wearing capes.
And anyway...

Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam
Format: 6 volume manga (1994-1997)

Optional equipment: anti-beam coating cloak, mounts on main body

The Crossbone Gundams seem a likelier source for the Exia RE's "cape" - most especially if it did indeed take a shot from a beam weapon (I personally can't remember)

it doesn't look like the cloak gets hit by the beam instead the beam hits the shoulder just before it. then the whole thing burns away when the beam saber hits it. the cloak is most likely there to cover up the missing arm hided just how damaged Eixa still is.

Honestly I think thats the only purpose for the cloak. Its only to hide the damage and maybe have some kind of intimidation since a red eyed Gundam with a cape is pretty scary looking at first although it turned out pretty useless since the A-Laws pilot charged him anyways.

Does the military use tarps of similar size to cover damage on maybe say a tank? Thinking about it I really can't think of a reason why he would put a cape on it.

This begs another question why does the Exia have a red eye rather than a green eye? It doesn't make sense if the eyes flash green not red.

I remember reading somewhere that the camera was actually a Tieren camera he found and attached, due to previous damage.

[J-Lead]

I always thought the cloak was sort of a ghetto-rigged makeshift method of keeping floating debris from damaging the exposed shoulder joint.

Thats a pretty good explanation. It even makes sense since the eye looks like a mono eye from a Tieren.

I always thought the cloak was sort of a ghetto-rigged makeshift method of keeping floating debris from damaging the exposed shoulder joint.

But wouldn't they still somehow get in since it isn't fully covered? Even small little particles and junk could get caught up in there and somehow make it past the cape. It would have been more believable had the exposed joints been covered with metal plates than a cape.

[ZeroBusterXX]

After looking at pics of the MG Exia Ignition Mode's Exia Repair form, the camera sticks too far out to be the original in any case, so knowing how scarce a spare eye for a Gundam would be to acquire for Setsuna at the time, it probably is just a Tieren eye he found somewhere. I guess Setsuna is the MacGuyver of 00!

[gundam_0088]

sorry i didn't

[ZeroBusterXX]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you didn't read the rules. No bootlegs on this forum dude.
